…."Coping with Loss"….
Words of Wisdom by Buddhist Philosopher Daisaku Ikeda
Buddhism teaches that the four sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death are an inescapable part of life. The crucial thing is not to be defeated by them.
The experience of losing a loved one impels us toward a deeper understanding of life. Everyone fears and is saddened by death. That is natural. But by struggling to overcome the pain and sadness that accompanies death, we become sharply aware of the dignity and preciousness of life and develop the compassion to share the sufferings of others as our own.
The impermanence of life is an inescapable fact. Yet while it is one thing to know, in theory, that each moment of your life may be the last, it's much harder to actually live and act, on a practical level, based on that belief. Most of us tend to imagine that there will always be another chance to meet and talk with our friends or relatives again, so it doesn't matter if a few things go unsaid.
But whenever I meet someone, I try to extend myself to them to the utmost, for that may be our last encounter. I never leave room for regret, aiming to concentrate my whole being in each moment.
Buddhism identifies the pain of parting from one's loved ones as one of life's inevitable sufferings. It is certainly true that we cannot avoid experiencing the sadness of separation in this life.
Shakyamuni, the Buddha who lived in India over 2,000 years ago, lost his mother when he was just one week old. As he grew up, he always wondered, "Why did my mother die? Where did she go? Where can I go to meet her? What is this thing 'death' that has robbed me of my mother? What, after all, is life?"
His sorrow at the loss of his mother became a powerful driving force which enabled him to have deep compassion for others and to seek the truth of life.
One day he met a woman whose child had died; she was wandering about in a grief-stricken daze with the tiny body clutched to hers. "Please give me some medicine to save my baby," she begged Shakyamuni, her eyes red with tears.
He knew the child was past saving, but wanted somehow to encourage her. He told her to fetch some poppy seeds so he could make medicine, but only to collect poppy seeds from families which had never known bereavement.
The woman hurried off into town and called on every household. But although many had poppy seeds, there was not a single house in which there had never been a death. The distraught mother gradually came to realize that every family lived with the sadness of lost loved ones quietly concealed somewhere in their hearts. Through this experience she realized she was not alone in her feelings of grief.
Probably no words can heal the heart of a mother who has lost her child. Someone truly wise, on meeting a woman whose child has died, might simply sit down at her side, and stay there not saying a word. Even if no words are exchanged, the warm reverberations of concern from deep in that person's life will be felt.
In the Buddhist view, the bonds that link people are not a matter of this lifetime alone. And because those who have died in a sense live on within us, our happiness is naturally shared with those who have passed away. So, the most important thing is for those of us who are alive at this moment to live with hope and strive to become happy.
By becoming happy ourselves, we can send invisible "waves" of happiness to those who have passed away. But if we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by sorrow, the deceased will feel this sorrow too, as we are always together, inseparable.
When I met Sonia Gandhi, widow of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, not long after her husband's tragic death, I said to her, "The lives of those who have suffered the greatest tragedy shine with the greatest brilliance. Please change your destiny into a source of great value. If you are sad, your husband will grieve with you. And if you stand up with a smile, your husband will be happy too."
A person who meets with a great tragedy will quite naturally be at a loss as to what to do with their life. I believe one has to decide whether to keep up one's spirits and go on living with all one's might or let oneself be broken by disappointment.
There are many examples where people who lost their mother or father early in life have gone on to achieve great things. My friend Oswald Mbuyiseni Mtshali, a famous South African poet, once told me that the first poem he wrote was to his mother. He said, "My mother's death was a great shock to me, so great that I almost couldn't recover from it. It took me a long time to get over it. But eventually I noticed something. Whatever strength I had was something my mother had given to me, left to me. My mother's words were alive in me; my mother lived on inside me. When I recognized that, a poem to my mother welled up spontaneously from the depths of my heart."
Through struggling to overcome the pain and sadness that accompanies death, we become more aware of the dignity of life and can come to share the sufferings of others as our own.
The Harvard University Library was donated by a woman who lost her son in the tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Her son, Harry Elkins Widener, who died at the age of twenty-seven, was a graduate of Harvard who had a passion for reading and had collected many books. In fact he had just completed a book-buying trip in London when he boarded the Titanic together with his mother and father.
Harry was a loving son to his mother, a gallant and heroic young man. Seeing his mother safely into the lifeboat, he stayed behind with his father on the sinking ship. The collection of over three thousand valuable books that he had already built up was left to Harvard University, but there was nowhere to put them. This prompted his mother to donate huge sums of money so that a library could be constructed. Out of this tragedy came a priceless gift to countless students.
Those who can overcome grief and continue to live with strength and courage deserve respect. I greatly admire someone who can overcome their personal suffering and go on to leave behind something of value for future generations.

WHO is a youth? It is not simply a question of age. A youth is someone who keeps progressing day after day. A person who advances is a youth in the truest sense. If we lack the spirit to advance, we are old at heart, no matter how young we may be in years. Moreover, the Mystic Law is the font of perennial youth and eternal life. It allows us to make our way through the three existences of past, present, and future with infinite life force.
A person of seeking spirit is always youthful, always full of joy, always vigorous. People with seeking minds humbly examine themselves, and strive to develop their lives. Through such efforts, they are able to develop great characters. A genuine Buddhist and genuine member of SGI is one who always lives vibrantly and continually advances through life with a seeking mind.
THE Gosho stated that "the suffering of hell will vanish instantly". So long as we have ever-advancing faith, one will definitely erase our evil karma, change our destiny and enter a state of life in which all our desires are unmistakably fulfilled. Confident in this, we must continue to chant abundant daimoku, always advancing another step with pure and gallant faith.
THOUGH we may speak of winning, there are various stages in life. No doubt some of us are now engaged in painful struggles with no signs of victory in sight. Still, we do not have to be discouraged in the least. What is important is gaining the final victory. And it is towards this end that one carries through with faith.
LIFE is long. There is no need to be impatient or in a hurry. The important thing is to steadily and surely build a solid self. Especially since one upholds faith in the Mystic Law, no matter what may happen, one can propel everything into the very best possible direction. Please advance with that conviction.
Learnings from writings of Nichiren Daishonin and SGI President and my Mentor DAISAKU IKEDA

"The essence of Buddhism lies in developing oneself through one’s own determination and tenacious effort―not by depending on anyone or anything else. At the same time, neither is it to be confused with the arrogance to suppose, 'I alone am correct and respectworthy.' To believe in the immense potential within oneself is at once to believe in the immense potential existing within all people. Buddhism teaches that we should treasure the lives of others just as highly as we treasure of our own life. “
The fundamental cause of people’s unhappiness lies in their tendency to develop attachments of various kinds. Attachments are fetters on one’s heart—earthly desires, cravings and so on. In the pre-Lotus Sutra teachings, Shakyamuni taught people the path for freeing themselves from such attachments. The spirit of the Lotus Sutra, however, is not to eradicate earthly desires. When we base ourselves on the Buddhist Law, we can transform earthly desires—just as they are—into enlightenment. This is the principle of “earthly desires are enlightenment.” It’s not a matter of eradicating attachments but of seeing them clearly. Rather than causing us to abandon our earthly desires and attachments, our Buddhist practice enables us to discern their true nature and utilize them as the driving force to become happy. The truth is that we could not in fact eradicate our attachments even if we so wished.
Hero of the world one of the titles of Buddha meaning a champion of peerless wisdom who has triumphed over suffering and delusion and acquired a state of happiness.

TRUE victory is that you experience at the last moment of your life. No matter how victorious you may be in the course of your life, unless it leads to final triumph, it will have little meaning.
ACTIVITY undertaken for the sake of the Law, as well as for the people and society, is a tremendous source of life-revitalising energy. If, however, you feel it troublesome to act for the sake of others or withdraw yourself into a shell of egoism and negative individualism, ceasing to take action for the sake of others, both your mind and body will stagnate. Then, the devil of sickness will find it easier to take advantage of you.
NO matter what sins or offences one may have committed, through the power of the Mystic Law one can transform these into a driving force for becoming happy. The determination to strive willingly for the sake of kosen-rufu enables us to open the state of Buddhahood in our lives.
ONE'S attitude can totally transform one's situation. The thing is to decide to spend each day happily and productively - wherever you happen to be. A wise person can create value under any circumstances.
IT is important to win all endeavours. Winning is a joy. It is a source of benefit and happiness. A person who is easily defeated does not have the strength or capacity to make others happy. Please strive to become the kind of person who will strive and win amid the harsh realities of society, while always upholding and championing justice and making efforts to develop your character. Please become a strong person, a capable person.- Daisaku Ikeda
It’s Jan 2 Sensei’s Birthday today

My Determination for 2021 Soka Year of Hope and Victory
As Sensei says “When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success.”
I determine to create a future of hope and victory with the ‘vast heart’ of Soka mentor and disciple by undergoing my own human revolution and thereby transforming all poison into medicine.
Basing my purpose of life to our faith in Nichiren Buddhism; l gather inspiration from the 6D’s as laid by Bharat Soka Gakkai; these are my 6 Determinations:
1. Daimoku of Vow:
Chanting daily without fail abundant daimoku for my own victory and for happiness of everyone around me not only for my precious fellow block members; my family and friends; people at workplace but also all people around the world. As the Daishonin’s true heirs, with a “vast heart” encompassing the earth, sea, sky, sun, and entire universe, I will forever cherish the noblest and greatest of prayers – the prayer for kosen-rufu and establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land – and steadily fulfil the vows we have made. [Ikeda Sensei’s message for the 47th Headquarters Leaders Meeting 2020]
2. Dialogues of Hope:
I will strive to engage in one dialogue per week with those in my neighbourhoods, communities, and workplaces in order to build friendships; inspire them to lead a happy and victorious life by enabling them to form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism and on respect for the other person, willingness to listen, and readiness to learn from them.
3. Daily Visits of Encouragement:
I determine to complete at least 1 e-visiting fellow block member to draw forth the wisdom and compassion of each member, forging bonds of friendship, and building ties of encouragement overflowing with joy – as this is the realm of Soka. [Ikeda Sensei’s message for the World Youth General Meeting 2020]
4. Diligent Study of Buddhism:
I am determine to make daily effort to study Buddhism and encourage each fellow block members to carry out “practice-oriented study” based on Ikeda Sensei’s guidance and Nichiren Daishonin’s writings (Gosho).
5. Discussion Meetings of Joy:
With a vow to leave no one behind and that everyone deserves to be happy; I determine to encourage members to participate in the monthly Discussion Meeting in order to deepen members conviction in faith so that everyone is inspired to take a step forward.
6. Demonstrating Actual Proof of Victory:
“Faith for absolute victory” – the conviction that we will win in the end without fail – this is the spirit with which Sensei has upheld throughout his life with the heart of a lion king. I determine to uphold his vow together with precious fellow block members and carry forward the spirit of “faith for absolute victory” across the block.

Motherhood of 16 years.
Amazing years-They just went by swiftly. When I look back to her turning 16; each moment of her being is just divine; A God’s angel gifted to me. She gave a meaning to my life; living my life and my childhood once again through her eyes. Her first cry; her first word; to her first test; to her first sadness; to her first friend all are truly special moments. I wish I could again live them each day.
0 years in the tummy: Kicking mummy dearest with all her might.. for every month making her mumma cry in pain almost bed ridden- Mamma feeding herself Rasgullas and pomegranates and all nutritious food for healthy good looking baby.
I will be helluva of a girl Mamma ! Watch out for me...Navratre comes; full blown pregnant mumma dreams of Durga and Laxmi. Is there a cute little Meri Durga in my tummy?.. mumma is dreaming of little princesses clad in white lehngas running around laughing and giggling around the house with sounds of lil girls wearing Payals. Yes it is the sign of my princess arriving my Durga my Laxmi my Sarswati arriving..
Two days post Dusshera she is Born Eshita Vani !! aka Laxmi Sarswati...
0-1 year : was the most quietest time; beautiful angel always looking towards her mummy with blue eyes. Lil angel beautiful; pink as a rose; doe eyed - mumma’s heart out of her body..
1-2 years: Loathed the Crèche. Howled her lungs out as she had to leave Mumma’s arms. Always looking for mummy’s bosom for breastfeed - the moment mummy is in sight. She knows no one except mummy and mummy’s arms. She cried and cried when she went through a mundan. Mummy’s heart wept to see her that sad.
Calls her father Daadda; doting father; who just lets her do everything- right to Painting the Ghar ka wall with Crayons to not wearing anything only undies...
Comes Mausi the villain - gets the little Esha wean off breast milk - mummy’s heart bled watching Lil Esha lick salt and mirchi. Cried all night missing her comfort - mumma’s Duddhoo. Mausi is practical and loving will sleep with Esha for next 7 days...
2-4 years: Now found new love in grandparents; Aaka; and Mausi. She is fast; supermodel always infront of mirror; changing clothes every 30 mins. Cat walked her way every where.
Mummy made a really bad hairlook to school yet told her teacher my mummy says I am beautiful and look like a princess.
Pride of a lioness cub; lovely as a doe; yet feisty in 2 feet of her being.
Her Aaka is the greatest; her first friend; she ruled him with her demands and he reciprocated with all his love to his Eshu.
Meri laado ki mehndi every weekend courtesy Naana!!
4-6 years: Blackmailed her mummy to buy clothes with her little tantrums in the mall. You should now know her as my little Paris Hilton - color coded top to bottom with mini satchel; sunglasses; shoes and dress. She is my Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell walking out of Lilliput Kid’s Store.
Enrique Iglesias croaking for her always since kid...A 5 years old Esha singing along I'm not in love it's just a fase that I'm going through i 'm always looking for something new 🎶🎵🎶🎵
Her Daadda disappears... Esha is a l’il sad each day as it goes yet each day a lot more happier with her new life with Naana; Naani and Mummy enfolds with new adventure infront of her... Her Naana becomes her strong fort around her. Her Aaka becomes her bro her friend her mausa No he is only Aaka....
Naani’s little brat was scolded- Little Esha packed her Barbie stroller and said I am leaving the house... couldnot help but turned back from the front door oh she doesn’t know where to go!
Homework with mummy never ! Mummy and home are supposed to be fun... PTM teacher pointed out she doesn’t do homework... Hello aren’t you supposed to teach her... she is supposed to spend time with Mumma and simply have fun.. school changed their rules...
Esha watches her Mausi’s tummy grow with doted eyes who is in there; will be taking her space.
Esha is 5 years and her sister arrives Anika.... She see her come to this world...her mausi shouting to top of her voice.. Amazed to witness the birth of her baby sister
They grow...4 and 9 uff.. what rivalry they share... right from Dresses to Doremon toys-Nothing to share with each other - every minute of love and play broken by a bout of fight and heartbreaks.
Esha growing with Naana and Naani and mummy.. Esha a little sad a little happy as new life stores lots of adventure and new world.
6-10 years: Comes Naani the SuperMom- life mein Twist... Naani brought Esha back to two T-shirts’ and two jeans. Finally hindi lessons and writing at age of 6..
Naani made Esha Raani excel in class. Every year Golden Star award! My Paris Hilton became Super achiever. Every year strived to do better than before...
My Golu molu angel had best of time with her Naana ... Naana loved his piece of heart... Her every wish is a command for him...
Yuvaan her lil brother comes to the world.., Lil Esha all overwhelmed looking at her small bro - dances in celebration in Mumbai along with Anika. She is taking care of her Mausi.. as she is happy for Yuvaan..

14-15 years - Mausi and Aaka are the guradian angels. Mausi keeping hawk eye on Esha’s progress.

I want to re start writing my thoughts everyday here. When I am sitting in the rocking chair all wrinkled too troubled and old to move yet young at heart with sparkle in my eyes; I would read my thoughts from younger me; smile and relive these years back through the words here.

Sandhi Puja is the most important time during Durga Puja. It is the juncture of Ashtami and Navami tithi. This year that time span is 24 minutes of Ashtami tithi and the first 24 minutes of Navami tithi. This is known as the Sandhi  Kshan. It is the culmination of Durga Puja. 
Tumblr media
According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Devi Chamunda appeared during this time to kill demons, Chanda and Munda.
Today; Let us all pledge with undefeated spirit to be victorious against our inner demons that arise from our fundamental darkness.
Inner demons such as 1) greed, 2) worry, 3) hunger and thirst, 4) craving 5) drowsiness and languor, 6) fear 7) doubt and regret, 8) anger, 9) preoccupation with wealth and fame and 10) arrogance and contempt for others

Its been a hell of a journey for last 38 years, and I am sure the journey would be interesting even more in future. thought of penning down my experiences, and recording some memorable moments, which will eventually also evolve in time as I would evolve and grow over time. 
The opinion are personal, and resemblance to any particular individual is coincidental. 
What is the sense of purpose for a woman?
Is life of a woman only define by people around her? Why is there repeated conscious effort to please people around her? Is the modern woman thinking about herself too? Does she still live in a continuous guilt of less time spent at home?
Work takes me to travel vastly in Tier-2 cities and also Tier-1 cities of Modern India. A psuedo modern India which has mobile in each hand, online shopping giving access and liberty of home, Engineering & MBA colleges in each city though no jobs and means for productive and creative employment. Women in each city seemed similar; irrespective of city-tiering. They are stressed, running around, catching up, with 1 or multiple children around her. 70% of times accompanied by husband or a male family member. 30% of times the woman observed are moving single, primarily unmarried or single by choice and both of them in pursuit of her direction and goal. The 30% lot exhibit comparative higher calmness. I am not directing that 70% grouped women are not content & calm in life. 70%-Women Group ! forgive my opinion, though the rational behind my opinion is that the stress built up in endeavor to achieve the pursuit in happiness towards “so-called” perfect life balance has taken over the happiness completely.  
Women, who mostly count weekly frequency of drinks, junk eating, and parties of our partners; do we would actually make a conscious attempt towards our own fitness, and well being? When was the last time I would have gone for a health check up or a trip to nutritionist? 
When was the last time that we did small attempt towards fitness, a conscious effort to walk or conscious effort to yoga?
Women are born winners to any conflict discussions at home. They are meant to be unquestioned winners in this territory. No man has yet acclaimed victory ever. Multiple times women are and I am also guilty of the same action- Nagging. Women greatly articulate in exemplifying negative traits of partners, siblings, and how deeply they have been distraught by the particular act of mankind with it. Life ends and hell breaks loose, and somebody just happens to scream “Action!!!” for the Great Drama queen ever born with a 3-hour act of continuous monologue delivery and sobbing as our Indian cinema mother of Karan Arjun who is always deprived of human rights.
If that is so are we women leading as true examples to our Family, our Children and are we inspiring them towards positive life skills of people management, feedback & conflict management…sense of purpose of life towards well rounded goals of happiness, health, & individual success that can be achieved with stress management towards stress free life environment for everyone around you. 
Is it a big ask for all women to achieve?
Cheers
